Hours of fun!,
This review is from: Cootie Catcher Book (Editors of Klutz) (Spiral-bound)
We found this one at a craft store for my then 5 year old son. He loved the idea of making up his own fortunes--we helped him fold his catchers. It really helped develop his fine motor skills--it takes concentration to hold one and manipulate a catcher! The designs are great! Bright and colorful--and there are ready made catches plus blank ones to fill-in too! They come in a spiral note book-type format...they are easy to remove and complete directions are very helpful! :)

Do You remember Cootie Catchers? Great Distraction!,
By "lynkfri13" (Waltham, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cootie Catcher Book (Editors of Klutz) (Spiral-bound)
You remember 'Cootie Catchers' don't you? (Although we used to call them "Fortune Tellers".) A paper square is folded and refolded so that there are four "pyramids". The player uses the index finger and thumb from both hands to open and close the pyramids, revealing pictures, numbers, words, or letters on the inside surfaces. The person who is having their fortune told chooses from the pictures once, twice, or three times, and then the paper is unfolded to reveal a "fortune"- a little gem of advice, warning or congratulations, written inside. This kit provides some precolored lovely, intriguing and creative designs ready to cut out and use. More importantly, it has all the guidelines necessary for you to make your own designs using any square piece of paper. You can make them larger or smaller once you have the idea. When my 7-year-old niece got this as a distraction for a long car ride to our vacation, she generously shared the patterns with her 6 and 8-year-old cousins. They stayed in the Cootie Catcher phase for weeks, making their own, with wilder, and more outrageous fortunes. This is a terrific little kit for kids around age 7, and for the inexpensive price, it provides hours of entertainment for car rides and other times when a distraction would help. If it doesn't quite keep them quiet, at least they're having fun!

Cootie Catcher Book,
This review is from: Cootie Catcher Book (Editors of Klutz) (Spiral-bound)
This book is a great investment for little girls ages 6 and up. I bought it for my nieces and they loved. They learn how to make the cootie catchers and there are pre-printed ones in the book that just need to be folded. Excellent!
